RESON A/S manufactures underwater acoustic sensors, state-of-the-art echosounders, multibeam sonar systems, transducers, hydrophones, and software. RESON’s SeaBat sonars and NaviSound echosounder systems have become an industrial standard in areas such as hydrography, dredging, offshore operations, marine research and defense & security. RESON was established in 1976 as a manufacturer of transducers; and after years of continued product and technology development, RESON is cur- rently a leader in its field. The company has recently expanded into new markets and application areas: its fourth generation of sonar systems will provide unprece- dented performance for naval and commercial systems in terms of accuracy, resolution, depth rating, and range.

RESON has launched a new version of the well-known

SeaBat 7125 multibeam sonar system. The most notable change is a new transceiver that combines a sonar proces- sor with an interface unit, thus removing the need to install the LCU bottle used in the deep-rated SeaBat 7125 systems. Cable length of 25m (standard) or 50m (option- al) between the transceiver and the transducer arrays allow for simple installations on most small vessels. All per- formance and acoustic parameters are identical to those of the other members of the SeaBat 7125 family. Through a number of new and unique features, the SeaBat 7125-

Surface reduces data collection and processing time while maximizing surveying productivity. These include: • Single or dual-frequency operations (200kHz and/or 400kHz) to ensure high flexibility • A new transceiver, which provides an integrated mul- tiport serial card. PDS2000 comes pre-installed for data acquisition and display as well as data processing, all on the same hardware platform. • Four video outputs to run multiple user and helm dis- plays. • A ping rate of 50Hz (range dependent) with 256 equi- angle or 512 equi-distant beams per swath ensures excep- tionally high data density. • Advanced signal processing and bottom detect rou- tines deliver second-to-none data quality. • Backward compatibility with LCU and other SeaBat 7K transceiver systems.

RESON has its corporate headquarters in Denmark, with subsidiaries in USA, U.K., the Netherlands,

Germany and Singapore. www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 57
